6 Genius Makeup Tricks That Shave Years Off Your Look

Makeup
should be a friend, not a foe, and as we age there are certain ways makeup can
age your look. Here are easy ways to use makeup to your
advantage and knock a couple years off in the process.

Use Yellow-Toned FoundationA foundation with a yellow
base instead of a pink one will help cancel out any redness in your skin.

Fill In Your BrowsAs women age and lose
estrogen in their bodies, they tend to lose eyebrow
hairs on the outer corners, creating a shortened look. Use a good brow pencil to
feather color onto the tails of your brows to give your face an instantly lifted look.

Use a Light-Reflecting
ConcealerAs skin gets thinner
around your eyes, you want to move away from using a heavy concealer. The best
concealer for aging eyes is one that is lightweight and deflects light, like Chantecaille's Le Camouflage Stylo ($49).

Switch to Brown EyelinerOftentimes, black eyeliner
can look too harsh and severe. Use a chocolate-brown pencil instead for a soft and beautiful look.

Apply Peach Blush to the
Apples of Your CheeksKeeping product on the
apples of your cheeks instead of under your cheekbones helps to give a youthful
appearance to your face. (Find the right blush for you here.)

Choose a Lip Color a Shade
Darker Than Your Natural Lip Color A dark lip can sometimes make you look older, so find shades that are closer to your natural lip color
and offer a bit of shine.

Best idea for foundation is to have color matched to your skin not try to negate. Too much foundation is aging. A good cc cream tinted moisturizer looks great. Get a pro to do your brows especially 3 D permanent microblended . Do face yoga it works
